    Windows 10 won’t boot, stuck at grey screen with spinning wheel


    This issue just started today, I have tried everything I can find online.


    I was playing iRacing when suddenly my PC bluescreened and then restarted. When it restarted, Windows launched, then displayed a grey screen with a spinning wheel. After a couple seconds, an error message appears, which says:


    C:\Program Files\Tablet\Wacom\Wacom_Tablet.exe

    A referral was returned from the server.


    Regardless of if I click “OK” or close the popup, my computer just stays on the grey screen with wheel.


    I have tried to reset my computer, but every time it says the reset failed, no changes have been made.


    I am completely lost right now and have no idea what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Win 10: Grey Spinning wheel: How to create USB recovery?


    Took a moment of faith and tried the recovery USB created from a friend PC. (tech preview win 10).. The boot sequence changed and boot happened from USB. BUT.. I started getting an error which came during installation...

    I get an message "Current Input Timing is not supported by the monitor display. Please change your input timing to 1366x768@60 Hz or any other monitor listed timing as per the monitor specifications".

    NOTE: I got this message when installing win 10. But win 10 installed by itself and restarted itself and the problem disappeared.
    So I did not bother after. Now I am stuck and dont know what to do!!

    Update: I removed the recovery disk and tried to restart.. Windows showed that there is an update. It updated. But after restart.. its back to grey spinning wheel!

    Screenshots (using my phone)
    With recovery disk... Display not working
